About
Join Tim Wu (“The Age of Extraction”) and Cory Doctorow (“Enshittification”), two internet activists who’ve been friends since they were small children, for a lively, infuriating and invigorating exploration of the forces that drove the internet to its current miserable state, and a prescription for taking it back and making a new, good internet that is fit for purpose: serving as the digital nervous system of a planetary civilization under dire threat from the climate emergency, genocide, authoritarianism and fascism.
